doing. it's my right. >> actually, you're out on the sidewalk. >> this is my yard. >> i don't feel safe with you standing behind me, so i'm asking you to go in your house. do you understand? i don't feel safe with you standing behind me. you seem anti-police, so i don't feel safe standing behind you. would you mind standing in the sglous i'm going to stand in my yard, if that's okay. >> do you know what you just said to me before you started taping? i think you need to stay in your house, guys. >> what did i say to you that offended you? >> we're doing a proper traffic stop. >> i'm allowed to stand in my yard. >> stand in your house. >> i'm allowed to stand in my yard. >> we don't feel safe with you standing right behind us when we're doing a traffic stop. i'm going to ask you to go into the house. >> it's my right to be in my yard and i'm sorry you don't feel safe. i'm clearly wearing nothing, i

have no weapons. >> it does not matter. you're not listening to our orders right now. you're not moving a foot further back. >> do you want me to move a foot further back? >> you're going to get arrested. i already warned you. >> i'm not going to go inside my house. i feel like i need the fresh air right now. >> i'm going to arrest someone for not following police orders. >> i'm asking you what the order -- i don't understand your order. >> not stand behind us, okay? >> what do you mean not stand behind you? >> i'm not going to explain to you. i'm trying to give you a warning. you know what, you're going to go to jail. this is not right. >> okay. so we hear that's pretty much the whole thing. you say your thoughts pretty much as the entire confrontation played out. but i want to get this straight, did you have something in your free hand that police may have been worried you were carrying a weapon? >> no. i was carrying nothing. i was in bare feet and pajamas. >> okay. i don't understand this.

if you had been in the middle of the police officers, but i'm not there, i don't know. they probably genuinely felt that you were in some way threatening them. i don't know. so stephanie, what do you make of this, as an attorney, was it okay for the police to do this? do they have a legal right to do this in someone's front yard? >> our position is that ms. good was well within her rights to be on her front lawn filming a traffic stop of a public servant. what the officer may or may not have felt, i can't speak to. but she was well within her rights, and was not given any lawful order at any time. >> was there anybody else out on the street, or out watching? >> yeah, i was outside with my friend, and i had neighbors two doors down who saw the whole thing. >> okay. and how long had you been there

before the officer approached you? >> i stepped out into the garden and then i started taping pretty much immediately, once i sort of was standing -- i just walked outside and stood there. then i started taping. so everything is on tape. i had just arrived at the scene. >> then what did you say to him? why did he say that i see you're anti-police? >> i said nothing that is not on tape to the officer. i had walked outside quietly without saying a word. >> and looking here, i want to read this. this is what the monroe county d.a. says. here's what the rochester mayor, excuse me, said, police chief shepherd has initiated an investigation to the extent some form of discipline is appropriate. he will see that it occurs. i also need to be sure that we are fair to the officers involved. i am not going to prematurely reach a conclusion. emily also needs to be sure that

we are fair to the officers involved. i am not going to prematurely reach a conclusion. that's what he said. so, emily, what do you want to see happen here to that officer? or do you just want the charges dropped and you want to let it go? >> i think we're not going to comment on what may or may not happen to officer macek. we have every confidence that the rpd will conduct a thorough investigation and do whatever they feel is appropriate. we have filed a motion and it is our hope the charges will be dismissed based on that motion. >> seriously, i only have five seconds here, but do you understand also when an officer asks you to do something, that maybe you should do it and ask questions later? >> if it's a lawful order, someone should obey. but if it's not, you're well within your rights to assert your rights. >> good luck. let us know what happens on monday. >> we will. thank you. something many thought they would never witness. same-sex marriage legal in the state of new york. we take you live to the big apple with details for what this

that is just a sampling of some of the emotions that played out in new york's gay and lesbian communities last night. really in new york, the whole city last night i'm told people were buzzing about this. you know, lawmakers there approved last night same-sex marriage. it is the most populist state in the union. andrew cuomo signed it into law and barring any court challenges it will take effect in 30 days. >> what this state said today brings this discussion of marriage equality to a new plane. that's the power and the beauty of new york. the other states look to new york for the progressive direction.

>> senior legal analyst here on cnn, jeffrey toobin. what do you make of that? is he correct? and also, are there going to be any legal challenges? because new york tried this two years ago. and it was overturned. >> well, no, that's not exactly what happened two years ago, john. two years ago it simply failed in the state senate. it never went into law. >> but didn't it go pretty far where people thought -- >> and i don't see any legal challenges to this law. you can argue whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, but i think it's completely clear that new york state has a right to have same-sex marriage, and they're going to have it. now, in 29 days. >> i got my new york and californias mixed up. jeffrey, there are folks out there saying, you know what, we are going to challenge this. and we're going to turn this over again. it's not going to happen. no one is going to stand for that. legally, can this be done?

is this a done deal? >> this is a done deal. there is no even plausible legal challenge to stop this law from going into effect. the opponents of same-sex marriage had their chance in the legislature. and they lost. and the only way this could be overturned is if the legislature passes a new law changing it with, you know, the current makeup of the state legislature and governor cuomo. that's clearly not going to happen. the question is not at this point whether new york will have a same-sex marriage. it is. the question is, which way does this go for the rest of the country. and i think that's a question that looks different today than it did yesterday. >> the reason i ask you that is because there are a lot of people saying we're not going to allow this. and california, it was put on the ballot. and that's when i spoke to someone who was against it last week, jeffrey, they said, this

should be put on the ballot. so if new york puts this on the ballot, i'm asking you legally can it be overturned? >> there is no provision in new york for ballot initiatives in the way that there is in california. >> got you. >> california has a long-established system of passing laws by the vote of the people. that's how every election goes. california are used to various propositions that either do or do not change the law. new york doesn't have that kind of law. >> all right. >> so the idea that this could be put before the voters is just not plausible. because it's not the way new york law works. >> so there you go. it's a done deal. jeff toobin, thank you, sir. >> sure. burlington, north dakota, they've given up trying to save some of their homes. but the fight downstream continues as the souris river is expected to crest just a few hours from now. major league baseball players and high school students

>> a flood of epic proportions. the worst is yet to come. the souris river, or mouse river as it's locally known, is expected to crest at midnight tonight at 8 1/2 feet above flood stage. my goodness. they estimate more than 4,500 homes could be completely under water when the river crests. the mayor says they have given up sandbagging to try to save the town. which is expected to lose a third of its homes. alexandra steele, when you give up. >> it's of epic proportions, another flooding. remember, only just yesterday it seems like talking about the mississippi flooding. but this is different. and it's different in one way, it's all about the terrain. let's talk about the minot terrain. rain and terrain, those are really the culprits. to exacerbate matters, the evacuations that are imminent and the worst is yet to come within hours from now, we've got more rain. a line of strong storms moving from west to east.

here's a look at minot. i'll put the radar in motion and you can watch the line of storms. we have a severe thunderstorm warning, by about 8:00 local time this will have moved through. but still, just to exacerbate the troubles, right, as if there weren't enough problems. it's true, we're talking about nearly centuries-old record. worst yet to come for this river. expected crest around 1:00 tomorrow morning, between 12:00 and 1:00 or so. five feet above record stage, dating back to 1881. certainly of epic proportions. rain and terrain. rain, a very wet spring this spring. a very wet spring last spring. also incredible and record breaking snow during the winter. and now this spring really has been the tipping point, and where the jet stream is now, that's where we'll see more rain. the heaviest rain tomorrow staying south of minot. that is the good news. heat in the southern plains, that's for sure. and more rain, don, in the northeast for tomorrow. and they, too, dealt with their own flash flooding around new

york city a few days ago. >> if it's not water, it's fire. >> extreme is the new normal. not just yesterday, but today and tomorrow. >> appreciate it. now this. >> ayes 33, nays 29. >> well, the chamber erupts in the new york senate as the state becomes the largest to legalize same-sex marriage. i want to bring in maureen o'connor, a staff writer for gawker.com. maureen, you're a new yorker. can you still hear the celebration? >> hi, don. yes, it's gay pride weekend this weekend in new york. so there are a lot of people who are very enthusiastic about the issue, obviously in town. as soon as the vote was announced that they were going to vote at 6:30 last night, they had all their tvs on.

people poured into the streets and were celebrating. i think we'll probably see one of the most enthusiastic gay pride parades this weekend, tomorrow, when people go marching through new york city. >> i dialed out for a moment to do some bills and stuff. and i checked my twitter and i was like, why do i have 800 tweets. and it was the number one facebook update. i thought, this is really crazy. there were actually, though, maureen influential republican donors who played a big role in getting this passed. >> yes. and you know, it's fascinating that the year this goes through, the new york senate is the year that the new york senate is controlled by republicans. andrew cuomo worked hard with a group of powerful libertarian leaning republican donors, particularly hedge fund managers donating a lot of money to fight against the campaigns of those who had opposed the original -- the initial 2009 bill. and also to encourage republicans who were willing to flip sides to say we're going to campaign for you if you're willing to flip sides and vote

for the gay marriage act. so sort of the key here and understanding how the gay marriage battles will play out in the future is sort of the way they worked with libertarian leaning republican donors who were willing to stand behind pretty much any republican who was willing to vote for the act. >> i know you work for gawker, which is pretty progressive. were you out partying last night, too? >> i actually wasn't. but i heard a lot about it. i was watching all the tweets and everybody talking about it. the famous picture of the empire state building lit up like a rainbow. >> this one's kind of freaky. before the break, we showed you a clip of japan's newest pop star. we want to show it to you again right now. maureen, nothing really out of the ordinary at first glance. but there is something odd about this. the do we want to hear it? maureen, what's going on here?

>> she's the newest member of japanese pop group akb-48 which is a group of almost 60 idols, and there's five main sort of people that lead this group. they sing songs, all that. the newest member had a huge high-profile campaign with a candy company. and initially when people saw her they thought how did this girl rise to prominence so quickly, how come we don't know anything about it. as it turns out she's actually a computer-generated face. they took the best features from the six main members of this large girl group, put them together and turned them into this woman. so now, amazingly, this isn't even japan's first virtual pop idol. they actually have another pop star who performs via hollow gram at hundreds of stadiums. >> we're out of time, though. >> it's certainly strange. >> we're out of time here. i want to see what's coming into the u.s. we already have one. we'll have to talk to you about

they are already legally married in massachusetts. why is this new law so important to you? you're smiling. so it must be important. >> well, thanks for having us, don. we got married several years ago because being married is a very important step for any couple to take. and we're happy that today, well, 30 days from now, 29 days new yorkers can share what we have shared for a number of years. >> so you guys are smiling. you appear to be a happy couple. congratulations for that. even just working on this story today, there are some people who are uncomfortable hearing husband and husband, wife and wife. do you understand that that there are some people in the country that can't quite get their arms around this? they can't get used to it yet? >> sure. and this is -- don, this is a growing process for anyone who's been involved in the issue. as we've seen even across the country, slowly more and more people have become a customed to the idea of same-sex couples. we're just so happy to know that

our rights and our privileges that are enabled by marriage are finally being recognized by the number of states that have moved to gay marriage. new york becoming one of the states that recognizes same-sex marriages, more than doubles the number of people in this country who live in states that can say that. and we're just very hopeful that this step will move us even closer to federal recognition of our marriage rights. >> and -- >> go ahead. >> we were fortunate to live in new york. sorry, we were fortunate to live in new york which recognized our massachusetts marriage. which was a great benefit to us. but we're even happier today that we're celebrating that our friends can finally enjoy the marriage that we've got. given by the state of new york. >> the criticism is some people say why should gay people get special rights and be married in the church. and it's about sex. is it about sex for you, or is it about tax benefits and rights and being able to see your

partner in the hospital, god forbid he has to go in what is it about? >> it's about a number of things. and i think you hit on all of them. first of all, like anyone else in the country, we want to be able to share our love by becoming married. and sharing our lives together in that way. but even more so, and this was really at the heart of the discussion in the new york state senate, we want to be entitle to the same rights and privileges as anyone else. not special rights. we just want to be treated equally in the eyes of the law. lots of different privileges and benefits are entitled to married couples in this country. we just want the same as everyone else. >> are you going to celebrate tomorrow? >> very happy pride tomorrow. >> absolutely. we've been celebrating. and everyone in new york is really thrilled about what's happening here. >> all right. happy pride, guys. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i'm happy you've been together for so long. anyone gay or straight together
